You think, maybe, they'll let you cook at your local burger joint ? :D

L'eau a la Bouche is supposedly superb (very nice pictures in the recipe book, but I have not yet made any of the recipes). The chef is a woman (Anne Desjardins). But it's quite a trek to Ste. Adele. I have to get there one of these days. A few years ago Gourmet magazine rated it the best...

Forget about Baton Rouge indeed. The last time I ate ribs there (Complexe Desjardins), the meat fell off the bones okay, but it was dry. Beav: have you made the recipe without the hot and spicy sauce ? - I can't stand hot and spicy. Addendum: Beav: I know you were the thread started on...

Karma, I never had the immense pleasure of seeing the Plastic Woman. I am interested in hearing what you think about the experience, though, as I was unimpressed by the food, and the lack of polish of the waitstaff.

Techman: As is so often the case, you are the voice of reason on this board. I was never advocating vigilante justice in my original post, just making the observation that she did get off easy when you consider what she did. I am particularly sensitive to vigilante justice, as I witnessed it...

Techman: If my memory serves me well, not all the information about her involvement was available when LE cut a deal with her; if I remember correctly, she would not have been let off so easily if all of the facts had been known at the time. So, she did not spend time that was commensurate with...

Pay very close attention to those parking meters. A couple of weeks ago on a Sunday night another merbite and I parked on St. Catherine Street (we got there at around 8), right across from Complexe Desjardins (we did not feed the meters as it was a Sunday night). When we got back several hours...

I have never stayed at HDLM, but at $119 it's expensive compared to the Hyatt on Priceline at US$60. Is it better then the Hyatt?

How about doing a review on the "Restaurant" thread. Addendum: I just realized that I once ate lunch at Beijing. It was okay, not exceptional.

Roland, Are you putting us all on ? You claim that you are a backpacker (I have never been able to understand someone camping in this weather...or any weather for that matter), but under your name it says "hibernating". Do you know whether you are coming or going ? :p

Don't chop up the oyster. Eat that right away....by yourself.

Those are conflicting requirements - polyester gets me sweaty, even with a wool blend.

You grin but don't bare it ! :)

The best post so far on MERB !!! :D

Yeah, Spiffy, but Daisy Duke was good eye candy. You like Wonder Woman ??? You just want to be dominated !:p :rolleyes: ;)

Daisy Duke How about Daisy Duke from Hazzard County?

And if you fail the iris test, two fingers come out and poke you in the eyes !! Sorry for the banter.

I once had a U.S. Customs Officer ask me "why" in response to every answer I gave him. At the 3rd "why" I started laughing, and we both had a chuckle. The key is to be relaxed. You are not doing anything wrong, so why be nervous?

Why do some posters here make crossing the border sound like an ordeal ? In my experience (as a Canadian) it's hassle-free in both directions.

My vote would go to TECHMAN - the voice of reason on so many threads. Puffery is easy (requires minimal grey matter); being reasonable like Techman takes a lot more. My vote for smartass merbite would go to none other than DEE.
